When the Books Get Going, the Cat Goes Shopping
Well, that was the case with Powerbooks' ongoing warehouse sale (up to this Sunday actually).
Pretty large selections too-- took me two days to ensure that I didn't miss a good buy. And with discounts ranging up to 70 percent, everything is a good buy.
To wit, I managed to get:
- John J. Miller Wild Cards: Death Draws Five (hardbound)
- James Morrow The Last Witchfinder (trade paperback)
- Cory Doctorow Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town (hardbound)
- Michael Moorcock The White Wolf's Son (mass market)
- Daniel Abraham A Shadow in Summer (hardbound)
- Steven Brust Brokedown Palace (trade paperback)
- Graham Joyce Limits of Enchantment (trade paperback)
Total price? A thousand bucks. Heh.
The hardbound Miller book was actually the best buy of the bunch since I heard the publisher, ibooks, had already collapsed after the death of its head, Byron Preiss. This rules out the possibility of a cheaper trade or pocketbook version.
